RAILWAY SERVANTS
RUMOUR OP PROBABLE STRIKE DISCREDITED. PRESS ASSOCIATION. CHRISTCHURCH, October 12. A local railway man, who is connected with tho Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants and claims to be in tho entire confidence of the local executive, when asked if he would hazard; an opinion as to the origin of a rumour regarding a probable strike of railway men, said that one statement had filled him with suspicion. That statement was that all hands, with the exception of the engine-drivers and firemen, would go out. Tho engine-drivers and firemen had what was called a “loco society,” which was straining every nerve in their interests and was not particularly friendly with tho A.S.R.S. Publication of a strike rumour, and emphasis placed on tho loyalty of the engine-drivers and firemen, suggested to him that tho paragraph had been inspired by a friend of the loco society, if not by tho society itself.
